Verdict
Rural Celebration showed plenty of early pace in a couple of placed efforts over 5f as did Milly's Secret when she finished runner-up at Cattterick over the minimum trip. Clever Miss will likely improve on her debut fourth at Redcar but SUPA U took the eye at the same track on her first start. Tim Easterby's filly still managed to get within a length of the winner despite being hampered close home and she gets the vote to go one better with normal luck in-running. The newcomer Khalice has plenty of speed in her pedigree as does Pyjama Day and Gown is another debutant to note in the betting.
